The Sartorialist

She is so pretty… love her sweet smile.

Wow! These gals in conservative and hands-on (yesterday's horticulturalist) careers dress so stylish, young and sexy! You won't see an account dressed as hip as this gal in fashion forward NYC! Maybe it's the warm climate and the attitude down under?

Alexander Wang outfit??? different photo angle, like it

The Fashionart Blog,

she looks incredibly fresh and beautiful. she definitely makes a monochromatic outfit sing!

Dear Lord, if this is how the accounting and financial community dresses down there I may have to start finding excuses to go Down Under for business.

yay. first commentator here :) i'm such a big fan of this blog. ♥

she looks very elegant.
the layering is very smart–look at the combination between cropped blazer+oversized shirt+ miniskirt. she surely knows how to dress! ;)

"fashionably tasteful.have a bite"

i don't know if the way you shoot the girls and boys in sydney or it is the fact, but they all looked so carefree, stylish and cheerful! this is definitely one of my fave shot for documentary quality – picture in motion is just so much more natural!!! xx

Amazing picture! I love the wind in the hair!

thesingular.blogspot.com

Don't know what I like better . . . That photo, or those legs.

The financial services people in Australia dress better than their counterparts in the US it seems.

Love the angle and motion of the shot! She is beautiful.

And people with real jobs DO dress this well in NYC, but perhaps in the business world here it is unacceptable to wear a mini skirt to the office. Women have this thing about being taken seriously.

that is a fabulous outfit, but if she wants to be taken seriously at the office, she needs a longer skirt!

wish that was me! she looks so effortless

So there you go. Who says that just because you have a boring profession you can't dress in style. Refreshing!

she's great.

I like how brash yet feminine these women are you're photographing.

kudos

very pretty, what a beautiful smile :)

Such a gorgeous shot and such a gorgeous girl!

so pretty….i love this skirt

Beautiful girl :)

Time stops for no man

WOWZA !

why don't accountants in NYC look like this ?

Beautiful

RJT

Very cute girl, nice simple outfit (but for work?), WOAH girl! You have a great body but you can't be wearing a little miniskirt like that to the office o_O

It's a bit too casual, I don't know… It's possible to dress professionally but still be sexy, why doesn't anyone comment on that?

Oh, love it! SÃ¥ hot & simple!

something tells me she isn't wearing the short skirt to the office and that perhaps she is carefree because she doesn't need to be in the office. nonetheless, workday or not, if i ever get stopped by you guys i hope that this is the expression i'm wearing. you know what i'm talking about, that "to hell with it i'm gorgeous" face. or perhaps maybe i should just move to sydney.

Aussie rules! It seems that Aussie style is making for some sour grapes and envy. She is neither trashy or any of the other epiphets drirected her way. Considering her look and her job someone took her seriously as well. Enough with the drear grey body armour of the 'professional class' its pretension and covers for many sins of omission and worse give me really skill and style and that smile any day of the work week, and double on weekends! lol! Oh and yes torn between wow, great photo, smile, legs as well. So kind of you to get it all in one post

Beautiful, but where are the the men of Australia?

I like how she's been caught in the moment. Not really a fan of the skirt (too clingy and stretchy), but I love the top half of the outfit as well as her fresh, makeup-free complexion.

Wow, THIS.IS.ELEGANCE !

Love the jacket, if the lawyers look anything like the accountants and stockbrokers in Sydney I'm on the next flight out

Fresh look!

oh my thats beautiful

She has beautiful hair – and I like the white watch. It stands out nicely.

Love the movement on this photo, love also the contrast between her skin tone and the black of her outfit!

this photo is like a fresh breeze–I agree with the previous poster about the wonderful movement of this picture. Very cute!

I work for a Big4 accounting firm in Melbourne; our (female) dress code does seem quite relaxed compared to the rest of the business community, e.g. the young stockbroker's and accountant's styles are typical of any young woman in any corporate role, though the length of this accountant's skirt is less common.

A big fan of this shot. Love the tones, the blazer cut. Looks like it might have taken a few takes too – great effort!

@ inna:

i agree with you!
there are no other words to describe perfection.

wow.
the smile: wow
the eyes: wow
the skin: wow
the hair: wow
the legs: wow
the body: wow
the look: wow

This must be said. Accountants surprisingly have the best sense of style.

Many in the fashion/advertising/legal industry all too easily latch onto trends, while the cerebral accountant always mutes down a trend to keep a classic, simple, and effortless look.

There's some Monica Bellucci in that face … !! :)

I need an accountant!

Cute girl and I love the jacket, but the rest is kind of wack. The ruching on the sides of the super short skirt makes it look more appropriate for a club than for business. The poor quality of the t-shirt doesn't help.

maybe she is an accountant at a fashion company?

Basic is beautiful!!!

amazing look. and amazing legs.

I would go down-under for her anytime.

Surely that skirt is NSFW?? haha!

I was just about to say that Scott. People, don't assume all Australian accountants dress like this. Conservative, high profile firms that adhere to a strict dress code is commonplace. It depends what field you're working in. The arts/fashion industry has always been more relaxed about individual style. Add to that the heat wave we've been experiencing lately, and voila – short skirt.

If I had a set of pin's like that, I wouldn't bother wearing a skirt at all.

As for all those comments that suggest the length of her skirt means she can't be taken seriously at work… I mean really, where are all you people from? Definitely NOT Sydney.

Her eyebrows make it!

Oh no, that's nearly DSYC territory, for sure. That skirt is chochatastic. It's a shame; she's so cute.

OMG! I love the fact that she is a professional with amazing style. I just graduated from Law School, perhaps I should practice law in Sydney so I can wear fab clothes!!!!! Instead of drab suits!

People are writing that she should be wearing something more work appropriate?

Even though Australia is fairly laid back, odds are she is at play, not at work . . . (as with The Horticulturalist – I doubt she wears a leather mini dress to plant rooftop gardens).

Would kill for those legs and love the monochromatic colour scheme.

Who says she's going to work?
If you have a decent body and your under the age of 35, flaunt it!

P.S.
I'm not saying that just because I am older, I'm 17.

Why is everyone assuming that just because she is an accountant that she is on her way to work?! I see no briefcase people!.

Proportions of the blazer compliment her lean figure perfectly; those legs legs legs! Texture of the skirt subdued by the black is also great I feel; she looks like she just walked off an Alexander Wang show Australian-style.

Please have a peep at my blog…

http://www.whatinthenameoflove.blogpsot.com

Do you take their photos before you approach them or vice versa? I love everything about this shot!

Oh my.. Accountant…serious? She' so great, simple and beautiful…
I love blog, congratulations to Belo Horizonte, Brazil

there seems to be a real misunderstanding in what is considered workplace appropriate by those in the fashion industry.

1. An accounting student
2. An accountant on annual leave
3. An accountant who wants a promo

Love the blog, any melbournites in your pics?

Ok so you have proved the point that accountants can be fun! I like her outfit it's casual but with style. I hope u shot this when it wasn't a work day because that mini skirt is not appropriate for work……

http://mushitushi.blogspot.com

easy breezy.

a beautiful girl…with killer eyebrows!!!!

comfortable and chic, i love it!

Now, which firm would allow this outfit? Chic, but very much a faux pas in the financial industry.

However, if she's not on her way to work, then she's fantastic.

hmm what accounting firm lets her wear a skirt that short

what a beautiful and simple outfit!

http://www.voguettegirl.blogspot.com

What a beauty!!!
Great shot too: great idea to take her picture while she's walking

Yeah, this is interesting. I'm an economist, so I appreciate that a woman can have a "man's" job and be feminine and attractive. Still, I do hope she wasn't going to work in that outfit! The plain fact is that it still is sufficiently difficult for women to be taken seriously in traditionally male jobs and so women who dress noticed sexually at work are not with the potential for sexual notice are not doing the rest of us any favours (I have a colleague I would love to cover up on occasion…)

Australia is an interesting mix. I lived there for a couple of years and since I was in a diplomatic job I obviously was not dressed like that for work. I had forgotten this until today but I remember that when I first moved there I was surprised at how short the skirts were that women sometimes wore to work.

I don't know. Some might think it's cool and empowering, and I know that Australia can be hot, but I prefer a more conservative look for work. After work…different story.

What I haven't seen in your Australia posts is what I personally thought Australians do uniquely well in fashion. I'm thinking of things with a bit of an Asian influence – assymetrics, loose, natural-fibre clothing. I saw some absolutely gorgeous women when I was in Melbourne in particular who were rocking terrific shapes linens, for example, (which I rarely wear here in North America). I suppose you have depicted that one girl in the soft, neutral dress a couple of posts below. Hmm…Will be interested to see what you come up with from here!

I'm from Sydney and I think a little poetic license has been used here. Just saying…

Wow. :)

She looks like a model! She looks fabulous indeed!
Great photo!!

i must admit, you wont see accountants like this in my neck of the woods,
isn't that skirt a tad short for the office. i mean it is fashion forward but too short in my book

if i'd be in sydney i'd change accountant.

sexy… stylish… stunning.

i love this pic, because it so natural and fresh.
the girl is my favourite.

love the hair. she looks mixed.

i went to high school with her! how exciting!

She is gorgeous! You have been getting some really beautiful people on here lately. love it..

http://www.FashionSnag.com

Ha, I hope she's not on the way to work – the skirt looks a bit tricky for office wear ;)

Why do the wimmenz on The Sartorialist always look so much classier than the menz?

DDDAAAMMMNNNNN haha

wow! truly a dreamgirl. Style, carrier and she's beautiful

She's got a beautiful face and figure. Love the jacket and confidence BUT not liking the belt that slipped down……surely not for work?

chick and energic young girl…. love her fashion style.

my lord. audit please.

I am connecting through New York as I type… I think I'm trading in my ticket for Sydney. I don't even care if she can add.

This shot has great movement and what a cute blazer.

The movement you've captured is beautiful. She is gracefully dressed in a contemporary way.

Hapa power! (This girl is clearly half-Asian. As am I.) :D

she is beautiful and has such a great sense of style. i love everything about this outfit and what i feel brings it all together is her smile. it shows she is proud to be herself and knows she looks good. and she has just enough jewelry on. sorry have to say it again she is beautiful.

Ok everyone settle down, she clearly isn't dressed for work! You can still say what you do for a living when you're on your day off. She is on oxford street, paddington, a shopping street, so she is probably chilling, not on a work break!

simply and chic..i like it.

I don't know if she uses that kind of outfit for work, but if she does… that miniskirt is kinda cheap and bitchy for a professional.

Australia! Professional life is hot. I don't like the way they have rings on their index finger though.

wow she sure is beautiful

why are so many people commenting on the fact that she's an accountant? your occupation shouldn't determine your style (or your life for that matter)

she looks gorgeous!

You know what the last few photos make me think? I think that the US is very behind the times with corporate dress codes. It's really refreshing that elsewhere, people can express themselves and be comfortable and professional at the same time. I just quit a job because I had to wear pantyhose under everything. Who or what can change this, and when? Sart, sic'em!

I'm an accountant also and I live in San Francisco and dress similarly. I can't get away with a skirt quite that short…

She's dressed like that because it's Casual Friday- not sure if it's done overseas, but in Australia, Friday's the day where you get to come into work a little more relaxed- because you know, TGIF!!

i live in australia and there is no way this girl was on her way to or from work, it must have been her day off. her attire is not acceptable for an accountant.
she looks beautiful though! amazing photo!

To Jeffery,

That is not true, I know plenty of fashion forward accountants in NYC. Maybe because NYC big accounting firms have strict policy of dress code all year round.

God damn. This is not what I see at H&R Block.

My wife is an accountant in Florda…she would love to be able to be creative and dress like this…instead…she's too bounded by the "conservative" ways….

she is gorgeous! LOVE it.

I wish MY accountant looked like that. Hot damn.

Love this blazer!! Is so gorgeous!!

Gorgeous-completely not triyng too hard xx

http://fringeoffashion.blogspot.com

She seems so confident!

Beautiful women, beautiful photos, but, in such a sunny clime, I'm always wishing to see urban Australians dressing with more color.

very nice look, everything fits so well.

http://furiousfashionforever.blogspot.com/

you do realise that she may be an accountant, but this is her casual weekend gear…rite?

Great picture! Her legs just seem to be glowing. Love the outfit too.

i love the skirt!!!! totally
that was looks very comfortable to wear.
plus, good body!!

Fe-ri-kin HOT!

Everyone in Australia dresses like this – but not to work. She is probably an accountant and this was DEFINITELY taken after hours :))

Although I like the outfit, isn't that skirt a little too short for ANYONE to be wearing?

I really like her style and the motion in this picture =)

She's pretty, but girls dressed like this are a dime a dozen in Sydney during summer. It's no big whoop.

Sydney is full of truly stylish people, Sart. Stop hanging out in Hyde Park, and Pitt St Mall and Oxford Street and get thee a bit further away from the city at the very least! Maybe sit down at Bourke Street bakery @ Devonshire with a croissant and coffee, and let them come to you :)

http://www.runwayrevolution.com

I'm impressed by the size of her skirt!!

Love the motion that you caught in this photo. And the girl's expression. Really…an extra lovely photo…even for you!

She's just so sweetly beautiful. Spectacular. I'd love to see more images of that face.

As for comments about 'appropriate dress' for an accountant…. Well, i hope she simply IS an accountant, and that she is not on her way to/from the office. I would agree that this skirt would just be 'wrong' for work. If i were in her presence, there would be no way for me to concentrate on (mathematical) figures. As an employer, i wouldn't appreciate that manner of distraction….

woooooow!! :D

We are striding down the blvd of confidence. We are criss-crossing the intersection of indecision at will; no need to look for cars. We are young and alive and elevated by our own pleasures. The tail of the jacket knows exactly where to sit. The half-smile is always better than the full.

She's either perfect or photoshopped. Look at her arms and legs, she's like a Barbie doll.

she's so sweet

annoymous 9:36 – i know her, and hate to say it but she's not photoshopped. she's actually really petite!

pretty girl. Good shot. Nice to know you (^_^)

i am loving the simplicity.. so classy; absolutely ravishing.

I think she looks chic and effortless. I must say thought that I think that people are far to casual these days especially at work. I would like to see casual Friday abolished and see people make more of an effort. It is such a slippery slope from casual to sloppy….many people aren't able to navigate that slope.

yeah, i live in australia too, and as many australian commenters here have said, its NO way shes going to work in that.
shes very beautiful though, especially her hair

WOW!!!!!!:)

Of all the accountants I interviewed, none looked as cute as this one. Nice pic…

marry me?

There are lots and lots of female accountants in Sydney, it's one of those professions a good chunk of my university (USYD) are working towards. A good chunk of my university cohort are also ridiculously well dressed (try Eastern Avenue next time you're down here, Scott!)

what a perfect human!

Quiet sexiness!

Love this look but what makes this shot stand out to me is the watch. Is it just an accessory or does it serve its purpose? It's funny everyone says you don't wear that to work but how do we know if shes not on her way to lunch. Just because she's an accountant or that guy over there is an engineer doesn't mean they dress that stereotype all the time.

It´ looks so natural, i wanna look like her, she has great legs, anyway me to :D

This is one of my favorite Sartorialist pics ever! She looks cheeky.

She's beautiful and fashion forward. The end:)

http://www.sharifaknows.blogspot.com/

Square faces rule.

I'm in love with this photo and of course of your blog! I wish people in Poland, and such city as Wroclaw, could wear such things with a touch of simplicity and style!

I addore you! What's funny, I found your site after the news which I'd hear in radio. They were talking about your book :)

Kisses from Wroclaw!

Isabel :))

Very cute. Just bought 2 casual jackets like this one for a friends christmas, hope she likes them.

That watch is Marc by Marc Jacobs, I should know because my best friend and I bought each other one for graduation :)

She's so beautiful! It's a perfect shot. I am so getting my sister, who has a similar figure, to emulate this. With a longer skirt, of course :)

I'm sure that there are beautiful accountants in the US as well and I hope to be one down the line. But as some of the men said, it's more appropriate to cover up during work hours. I'm a first year business student and it's already been drilled into me that skirts that show the knee at any point are banned from the workplace. Pants it is until the end of the work day!

Love the blog, only discovered it today.

She can crunch my numbers anytime.

She's so arresting. Beautiful.

Wish I knew her!

I love the cheeky innocence of the picture..like she just caught your eye as strutting past to give you a sly smile. Her outfit is simple, clean and classic yet has thought to it.

Waiting for a bus

I have one enduring memory of her. She is walking along the street as I stand waiting for a bus, dressed in a short black suit jacket cut higher at the back than at the front, a long light-grey tight t-shirt top extends beneath the jacket and over the top of a short black mini-skirt, her long brown hair shining in the light of the morning sun behind her. She turns and looks at me, her dark eyes accentuated by black eyeliner and her dark eyebrows, the slightest smile on her face more like a smirk, her soft skin matching the soft lines around her face, neck, arms and legs. I don’t know why she looked at me, but she did, and now I can’t get her out of my head.

So effortlessly stylish!

awesome!

Wow~ Gorgeous!<3

Well well. She could do my books any day. Gorgeous! Love the movement in this shot.
http://www.buenostyle.com

I want to dress just like her when the spring comes to sweden :) Beautiful.

Easily the freshest fashion photo I've seen in years

that is what i'm looking for….beautiful and natural

its really very cool picture i like it very much thanks for sharing this with us.

This is such a fantastic shot! Its like you caught this fleeting moment and a second later it was gone. She is beautiful. I love the length of the jacket and her beautiful watch!

http://www.beautifulstreets.blogspot.com

PRETTY~!

Wouldn't wear a miniskirt if I was going to work, but then again, maybe she isn't. She looks amazing. And has great hair.

Stop me dead. There's a Minnesota phrase for that … "Uffda."

The layering, the stride, the 'tude – fab.

:D

this is a fantastic outfit. Australian light is so wonderfully bright!

I am really amazed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself? Anyway keep up the excellent quality writing, it’s rare to see a great blog like this one nowadays.. With thanks, franke orx110

It was very interesting to read this piece of writing! Thank you so much!

Wow! what an idea ! What a concept ! Beautiful .. Amazing

all were really cute but the Louboutins just blew me away :)

This really answered my problem, thank you!

Wow that was strange. I just wrote an very long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t show up. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Regardless, just wanted to say great blog!

You definitely know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. I cant believe youre not more popular because you definitely have the gift.

An interesting discussion is worth a comment. I believe that it’s best to write more on this topic, it may not be a taboo topic however generally people are not brave enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers

Nice post!

very good post, i certainly love this website, keep on it

Why didnt I think about this? I hear exactly what youre saying and Im so happy that I came across your blog. You really know what youre talking about, and you made me feel like I should learn more about this. Thanks for this; Im officially a huge fan of your blog

Amaze! Thank you! I constantly wished to produce in my internet site a thing like that. Can I take element of the publish to my blog?

some genuinely great info , Gladiola I observed this. |

Hardly ever do I encounter a blog that’s both educated and entertaining, and let me tell you, you will have hit the nail on the head. Your thought is excellent; the problem is something that not sufficient individuals are talking intelligently about. I’m very satisfied that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.

I need to examine with you here, which isn’t something I usually do! I enjoy studying a website that may make folks think. Additionally, thanks for allowing me to comment!

Woh I your posts , saved to favorites ! .

Oh my goodness! an amazing article. Thank you!

very good post, i certainly love this website, keep on it

maybe she’s not at work. maybe it’s after work, or the weekend. just because she IS an accountant, doesn’t mean she’s in the office all the time. the rest of the time she obviously spends looking excellent

Waiting for your next post!!

Fantastic blog! Great!

Fantastic blog! Great!

Yes … the design is clearly needed to be changed :)
